    We simply have to win all our remaining games against provincial opposition and get 7 points out of the remaining Old Firm fixtures if we are to retain the SPL. I cant see the Huns making that many errors other than through too many fixtures.

    There nothing great IMO, there been getting through games by luck but i have a feeling it will change before the end of the season and hopefully the 29th will be the day there luck turns on them.

    We must win every game from now on. That will do us. The Huns WILL * up at some point as well as * up against us.

    By all accounts Hibs were rank today. It never ceases to * me right off that almost every team playing against them plays *.

    Noticed also that they didn't even get one booking today....so either Hibs were totally * and put no pressure on them at all, or the ref was taking care of them.

    The way the huns are playing they will win every game , except if we can beat them. Its in our hands win every game and we win the league.

    I just do not see how we will beat the hun they have had us in the last three games and to be honest they look hungrier, I think we will win at least one, and I hope we take all three but I am an eternal pessimist.

    Come on the hoops.

    That why I am not stressed. Its in our hands and whoever wins the OF games simply deserves it. Am pretty zen about this. The only pity is that Rangers might win it based on the fact they can afford to sit 4-5-1 in all the games as three draws would all but clinch the SPL for them. I still feel if we play to top form we can overcome the 4-5-1 as long as they dont score first. I think the defence's lack of mobility is our best bet. So we need to have Samaras on for at least a big chunk of the game. We need to play it on the ground because their CBs are very decent in the air. Its actually a pity we dont have much pace in reserve since Miller and Shaun left because that IMO is the key weakness in this Rangers side. Samaras and Aidan and maybe Broon will be enough mobility though. One other thing-if we can somehow beat them at Ibrox, I think it would make it too close for comfort for them to keep playing for draws in the other two so the first OF game is crucial. Good thing is that the team who most need to win the OF usually do when the teams are fairly evenly matched.

    Well now that we have 3 points from today against Gretna we can really put ourselves in a pretty decent position if we beat the huns next week.

    They will have a lot of away games to play in their last 10 games. 3 home and 7 away is what they have. So if we can beat them next week that leaves them with 7 away games and only 2 home still to come which is no easy task.

    That's the spirit!:50: Too many fans are negative. We can turn over the huns three times for a start. We've been through all our away games and they haven't. Our squad is all fit, all they need is Fergie to be injured and they are screwed.

    the key to winning any OF game is the midfield battle.our team need to chase everything.the thing that dissapoints me about us is when opposition teams play the ball out from the back we never chase them down and put enough pressure on them.big jvoh and skiipy just jog to the players istead of chasing everything down.if u chase everything from the start and give noone a minute to think on the ball 9/10 defenders will panic.too often we let teams play out from the back and only wen the get within about 40 yards of our goal do we try enough to shut them down.defend from the front and the rest will take care of itself as we WILL create chances. Hail Hail

    We know the huns are going to play 4-1-4-1 so I think we should line up this way,
    ..............................Boruc...............................................................
    ......Caldwell..........McManus...........O'Dea...........................................
    Hinkel.......Brown......Hartley.....Robson.......McGeady...............................
    .............Samaras...........Venegoor of Hessilink.........

    This will give us the cover we need in midfield plus it gives us a wee bit of dig in there which we will need as Rangers with the help of the ref will try and bully us.

    Beat the huns in their own midden and they will start to question themselves and feel the pressure. We need big games from our big players.
    We are the famous Glasgow Celtic and do not fear the huns, beat them x3 and this will be one of the sweetest title wins ever.
